History Folder

Hi.

Where is the main "HISTORY" Folder for Internet Explorer on an XP System? I looked in the Windows Folder and cant find it. Im looking for the "Temporary Internet Files" Folder too.

On your C drive is a folder called Documents and Settings.

Within that is a folder for each user Fred, Jane etc (plus one for All Users).

Go into the folder for your name.

In this folder are all sorts of folders used by Windows (some hidden)

There is one called Local Settings which has folders called History and another called Temporary Internet Files.

Not sure which ine you actually want.

To display hidden folders do as follows.

In the window showing your folders select the Tools menu then Folder Options.

Select the View tab.

In the list of options select "Show Hidden Files and Folders".

You may also need to select "Display content of system folders".

Save you changes and you should be able to see the folders you want.

Easiest way to view the Temporary Internet Files is to do it within IE.

On IE7 select Tools then Internet Options.

Under Browsing History select Settings.

Then on the window that is displayed select View Files

This opens your Temporary Internet Files folder.

It is similar on IE6 but slightly different.
